2-Series Integrated Control Processor Crestron CP2/CP2E
The C2Net-Device slot enables the CP2 and CP2E to control up to 252 Cresnet
devices. Each Cresnet device is assigned a unique identifier called a Net ID, which is
a hexadecimal value ranging from 03 to FE.
To view the list of supported devices, expand the control system in the bottom pane
of System Views and double-click the C2Net-Device slot, or right-click and select
Add Item from the submenu. Supported devices include network control modules,
lighting modules and a variety of Crestron wired touchpanels.
To add a device to the system expand the C2 Net-Device slot and double-click the
desired Net ID, or right click and select Add Item from the submenu. Then select the
device you want to add. Alternatively, you can drag the device from the Cresnet
Modules folder onto the Net ID.
In Program Manager, the C2Net-Device symbol contains no signals; to program a
controlled Cresnet device, expand the C2Net-Device symbol in Program View. Then
drag the device to Detail View.
Slot 2: C2I-IR8 The CP2 and CP2E provide 8 output ports (A through H) that enable serial
communication in a variety of formats, including infrared and one-way RS-232. Of
course, different devices may require additional receiving equipment, cables,
adapters, etc.
To add an IR device to the system, drag the device driver from the Crestron or User
IR Database to a C2I-IR8 port.
To add an RS-232 device, drag the C2IR one-way serial driver from the Serial
Drivers folder to a C2I-IR8 port. Alternatively, you can double-click a C2I-IR8 port
and select the C2IR one-way serial driver (or right-click and select Add Item from
the submenu).
Next, double-click the serial driver to specify the communication settings that are
required by the device. These settings define the protocol that the controlled serial
device expects, and include the speed of data transmission (baud rate), error
checking (parity), and the number of data bits and stop bits. The exact protocol will
be described in the manufacturer's documentation.
NOTE: The C2IR serial driver, being one way, does not provide hardware or
software handshaking.
In Program Manager, the C2I-IR8 symbol contains no signals; to program an IR
device or serial driver, expand the C2I-IR8 card by clicking the plus sign in Program
View. Then drag the symbol to Detail View. (Alternatively, double-click the symbol.)
